This blog addresses the fatal flaw at the core of capitalism as a system of human psycho-socio-political-economic collective self-reproduction, a flaw which ultimately renders it a self-DIS-organizing, self-destroying system -- as is becoming increasingly evident. It also details the successor system to capitalism, the new system that represents the higher, positive way forward for humanity: Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY, or EQUITISM.

It is a telling ‘‘‘psychohistorical’’’ phenomenon of our
times!You are not the only Marxian who
has felt the need to enhance Marx’s culminant thesis on Feuerbach, thesis 11.

Of the present Marxian tendencies -- the tendencies that
eschew all forms of sub-peripheral “pure” state-bureaucratic
state-capitalism/pseudo-socialism -- Leninoid, Trotskyoid, Stalinoid, Maoid,
Castroid, Unoid, etc., etc., ad nauseam -- as well as of hybrid,
private-capital-dominated/state-bureaucratic-class-administered state-capitalism
-- Hitleroid, Fascist, Falangist, Peronist, Salazaroid, etc., as well as the
forms prevalent in the core capitalist countries today -- the present Marxian
tendency that I like best has enhanced Marx’s eleventh thesis to the following:

“The philosophers have only interpreted the
world, in various ways; the point, however, is for us to change
our presently still “prehistoric” human world, in the direction of, and all the
way through to the actualization of, a global political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY, and
thus to enable, thereby, that regime of a continuing GLOBAL renaissance of
humanity -- the first such ever -- a regime of the growing global flourishing
of human Nature and of planetary exo-human Nature alike, the regime that political-ECONOMIC
DEMOCRACY makes possible.”

Like you, they see the need to integrate “non-human “
Nature, both theoretically and practically, into the movement for planetary
self-liberation, showing how humanity is an outgrowth of pre-human Nature, by
way of principles and processes that are generic in Nature as the
totality; showing that humanity is a self-extension of, and a predictable
self-continuation of, pre-human Nature itself.

Indeed, they have resurrected Engels’s unfinished
“Dialectics of Nature” in a form deeply conversant with contemporary modern
science, and with contemporary modern mathematics. They have revived it into the form of a
unitary, natural-historically-generic “DIALECTIC [singular] of
Nature”, containing separate, successive, and progressive epochs of natural
history, each with its own natural-historically-specific
“dialectical-natural laws”, each such “law” a variant of, but each also fully
conformant with, that natural-historically-generic ‘self-aufheben’
dialectical ‘‘‘law of Nature’’’ [singular].

Their detailed definition of “political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY”
can be found at --

In this blog-entry, below, I discuss the abject failure of
external, bureaucratic regulatory agencies, and of the U.S. civil court system,
to protect U.S. citizens from lethal pollution externalities, and the consequent
urgency of instituting revolutionary reforms such as that of the Equitist
Advocacy group’s proposed “Citizen Externality Equity” constitutional Human
Right, in order to save millions of citizens’ lives from slow and agonizing
deaths by pollution-induced illnesses.

These illnesses are, in part, due to the ‘Stealth
Humanocide’, “Stealth Eugenics”, “population reduction” machinations of the ‘Rocke-Nazi’,
Rockefeller/Morgan/DuPont, etc., ‘anti-productive-forces’,
‘capitalist/anti-capitalist’ ruling faction of the ‘descendence-phase’,
capitalist ruling class.

ORGANIZE!

Miguel

GLOBAL STRATEGIC
HYPOTHESES.A recent
news segment highlights the urgency of fundamental “social relations of
production” revolutionary reforms, of the kind proposed by the Equitist
Advocacy group, under the name “Citizens’ Externality Equity”.

A Youtube recording of this news segment is accessible via
the following hyperlink --

This case -- but one specific example among myriads such -- involves
undisclosed contamination of a river that supplies drinking water for hundreds
of families, with DuPont-made molecules linked to heightened incidences of
ulcerative colitis, pregnancy-related hypertension, thyroid gland diseases,
high blood cholesterol levels, and kidney and testicular cancers.

¡The
stealth contamination began in 1980, but was not revealed to the affected
public until 2017, i.e., was hidden and ongoing for nearly 40
years!

The drinking water contamination culprits in this case were
installations owned by the DuPont de Nemours corporation, located in the U.S. State
of North Carolina, including in the vicinity of Fayetteville, with discharges
of the offending DuPont-made molecules into the Cape Fear River.

The original of these offending molecules is known as
“P.F.O.A.” [PerFluoroOctanoic Acid],
later joined by a related molecular species known as “GenX” [involving 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy) propanoic
acid], both belonging to the «Genos» of compounds known as
“Fluorochemicals”.

“Fluorochemicals” involve the most violently chemically-reactive
of the chemical elements, Fluorine.These compounds are used, by DuPont, etc., in the manufacture of Teflon,
etc., “non-stick pans”, as well as in that of waterproof jackets.

Per the news segment, the DuPont de Nemours corporation, and its spinoff,
Chemours, were eventually sued in civil court by the North Carolina Department
of Environmental Quality [DEQ] and by a water utility company with a water
processing plant near Wilmington, North Carolina, in complaint over the many
years of their non-disclosed deadly discharges.

These corporate entities were ordered to pay ~ $670
million in compensation for the damages that they had inflicted, in secret,
upon the citizens of North Carolina -- decades of dangerous and life-damaging,
deadly discharges of the carcinogenic P.F.O.A., and, later, of GenX.

Now, it is all well and good that DuPont, etc. were finally
brought to justice, at least to this degree, for the horrific, agonizing suffering,
disease, and early deaths that they had caused.

¡But it
took nearlyfortyyears for the
State regulators to wake up and take action!

The Federal regulators -- perhaps long since prostituted by
the likes of the deep-pocketed DuPont de Nemours company -- apparently never
lifted a finger to protect the citizens who were targeted by the DuPont GenX compound.

Moreover, the State standards for “safe” levels of GenX in
drinking water are not
legally enforceable -- they are mere goals, with no Federal laws backing them, hence
no state laws to
enforce them either.GenX is not a regulated-by-law compound. GenX, like P.F.O.A., is not easily removed from water, once GenX-contaminated -- cannot be "boiled" out of such water, and is not easy to "filter out" either, according to the news segment.

¡Moreover,
there are about85,000other corporate compounds -- with more on the way -- that are
similarly unregulated, and, hence, that are not part of U.S. water quality standards, and for
which U.S. drinking water is therefore not
even tested!

As capital-wealth “lawfully” and predictably concentrates into
ever fewer hands -- hands that can increasingly buy the silence of bureaucratic
external regulatory agencies, and that can corrupt the civil court judiciary,
etc. -- the prospects for such agencies’ defense of citizens lives from similar,
e.g., waterborne assault become ever dimmer, dimmer even than they were circa1980,
when this case began.

This is especially so given a descendence-phase ruling faction that
is so dead-set on “Stealth Eugenics” and ‘Stealth Humanocide’, as documented in
the following blog-entry --

-- and this case is but
one example among myriads of such examples, all over theU.S.,
not to mention the rest of the world.

We suggest that the only promising prospect for the
overthrow of this regime of ‘stealth mass murder’ by drinking water
“fluoropollutant” contamination, and by similar “externalities”, is a movement
of U.S. citizen-workers powerful enough to institute, as a
constitutionally-recognized Human Right, “Citizen Externality Equity”, together
with the other “Equitarian” revolutionary constitutional reforms, so as to transform the
prevailing social relation of production from that of descendence-phase,
social-forces-of-production-destroying, proto-totalitarian, “people are
pollution” [“eugenics”] state-capitalism, to that of “political-ECONOMIC
DEMOCRACY” --

“If it is true that we can neither prove the existence of
God/of a Divine Realm, nor prove the non-existence of anything adequate to such
names, then perhaps this post should be about 'Agnostic Materialism', not about "Atheistic Materialism".”

“I like the work of a research programme, called Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica, that does not waste a lot of effort debating Theism vs. Atheism vs.
Agnosticism, but, instead, uses a new 'contra-Boolean algebra' of dialectics
that they have discovered, to build qualitative models -- '''ontological
models''' -- of the entire known universe -- the 'Dialectic of Nature' -- and of
the many 'sub-universes' of our one experientially-known Universe. Their
work is available for free-of-charge download at www.dialectics.org .”

I like your proposal, and I know some people who evince a remarkably
similar ethos to yours, co-founded by someone using the nom de plume
“Karl Seldon”.

They are collectively known as Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica.

All of their -- voluminous -- writings toward a, “0-->I
Kardashev jump”, “Global Renaissance”, and toward an averting, or at least a
foreshortening, of what they see as our looming “New/Final Dark Age”, is
available for free download [except for the three books that they have
published so far].

You might consider contacting them, to see if they and you
are resonant enough to form an alliance to further your project.

Meantime, I will post this comment, and a link to your
proposal, in a blog-entry, so that some of my many readers may learn of your
proposal, some of whom might not otherwise run across “this corner of reddit”.”

I have appended the reddit post to which I responded below,
for your convenience --

Seeking:
coders and data scientists with a desire to do some serious sociopolitical
paradigm-shifting (and yes, I know that's about as overused a phrase as you can
find, but it's actually applicable here, if I'm right about a few things),
coders and data scientists who aren't turned off by the rest of this post, and
are in fact intrigued by it... should they exist and be browsing this corner of
reddit around now for whatever reason.

Offering: an idea, and what Asimov would have called 'an
intuitive grasp of Psychohistory.'

The good news: I can envision, with precise detail, a software
platform that, I believe, if built correctly, could meaningfully increase our
species' odds of a successful 0-->I Kardashev jump, and would catalyze other
ripples I can only begin to predict which might also harbor the possibility for
tangible progress on this, the truly singular problem of our time. I do not
know of any inherent barriers to such a platform's existence, though no such
platform is extant.

The bad news: I cannot code for shit, nor could this project
be completed by one person even if I could (probably? I don't know, perhaps
there's someone capable of its entirety, but I doubt it), so I need lots of
help.

The bad news isn't actually bad news of course, because a project like this is
far better done as a team effort, and I should have as little to do with
actually building this thing as possible, because it's not my project or your
project or anyone's project, it's just something that should exist because it
increases the odds that our species will continue to exist.
~~~~
I am nobody, you're nobody, and I'm not offering anything except the chance to
play a thankless part in increasing our 0-->I odds. Nobody will get paid
anything for this, there will be no ads or anything, and the only possible time
we might solicit donations from users will be for server costs if this thing
actually takes off. Any financial involvement corrupts the entire underlying
ethos and is antithetical to the endeavor's truest nature, yes even paying
people to build it.

Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous, and yes I'm aware that
I'm probably not looking for something most people can offer. If, however, you
have enough financial stability and awareness of the situation to still be
reading this, and aren't already spending your free time working on a project
that increases our odds, what's there to lose from hearing me out a bit
further?

I'm being deliberately vague on details here, because this is a
cards-somewhat-near-the-vest thing at the moment, and the premise, my username,
and the requirements are sufficient filters/shibboleths to find who I'm looking
for at this stage. The details will already be half-apparent to the right
person, they just probably haven't put everything together from quite the same
perspective I have yet, because they're a coder, not a full-time social
scientist. If someone with the coding skills had done so, such a platform would
likely exist already.

I will say this though, to add just a bit more detail (assuming, again, that
you've read your Asimov):I don't think
my generation, the millennials, will necessarily have a singular Seldon-figure,
one who warns us of collapse and single-handedly engineers the formation of a
future alternative.

We have, instead, a myriad of data sources and analyses of said data giving
ample warning of a variety of impending collapses, and a large percentage of
the population that sees and understands these data and analyses.

I believe, therefore, that we need to collectively build a 'digital Terminus,'
so to speak, both to tackle the immediate challenges in hopes of minimizing the
damage caused by various collapses and to prepare ourselves to make the
0-->I jump; these two are of course deeply related, though not exactly the
same. The former, if not tackled properly, might put a terrifyingly short timer
on the latter though, so it seems prudent to work expediently on both.

I am certainly not Seldon, and I don't think any one person can be Seldon.

I think we, all of us together who see this heap of dead canaries and want to
ensure (as best we can) that our progeny will have a future, are humanity's
first true 'Seldon.' (Yes, I imagine parallels can be drawn to figures from our
history who helped form new kingdoms and dynasties as old ones were collapsing,
but everything before there were serious 0-->I implications on the table is,
frankly, child's play compared to what we have to tackle shortly, so I'm
ignoring those potential historical parallels).

We must, together, build whatever comes after many of the current economic,
social, and political paradigms proves inevitably unequal to the tasks
immediately ahead. The sooner we start building our own Terminus, the better
our odds will be of weathering what is to come.

And I specifically say Terminus, not 'our own Foundation' because, unlike in
Asimov's story, no deception about an encyclopedia (spoilers, sorry, but really
if you haven't read Foundation by now it's really on you) is
necessary. We just need a safe place, digitally speaking, for all the Founders
to weather the collapse and start germinating what is to follow.

So, I guess the question then becomes, 'are you seldon_2?' Once someone says
yes to that, 'who is seldon_3?'
~~

My full idea (this post being the tip of a rather large iceberg) about what a
digital Terminus specifically looks like might be terrible, I don't know
because I'm hopelessly biased, but I know a digital Terminus will need to exist
for us to successfully make the 0-->I jump.

I think my conception of it is a
solid starting point, I know we need to do many absurd-sounding-yet-imperative
things if we're going to make the 0-->I jump because time is getting short
and exponential curves are rough when you're unprepared, and I figure, 'what's
to lose by shooting for the stars?'

If you agree with my premise and you hear
my idea out, but you think it's shit, great! Go build your own, better digital
Terminus! And, because I know tone can be tough online, I want to be clear that
that has no sarcasm tag on it, I genuinely want the best digital Terminus possible
to exist, whether or not I'm involved.

Help me with my idea, steal my ideas and
add your own, whatever, I don't care if you're working on building what needs
to be built.

The biggest hurdle I've repeatedly come up against is that all the good coders
I know IRL need to get paid for their work, though there are also some who
don't give a shit about whether we make the 0-->I jump or not for some
vaguely nihilistic reasons I have trouble getting on board with.

If
neither of those describes you, and this post piques your interest, please
shoot me a message. I'm not expecting full-time help (though if anyone
is so set they actually can do that, that's obviously awesome), any time or
expertise you could contribute will probably be useful.

Thank you for your time and consideration, even if this post
isn't for you. Please consider if it might be for anyone you know, if you're
concerned about the jump but can't help yourself: the wider and more random a
net is cast, the more likely I'll find the right people to make this a reality
and improve our odds.”

It is my pleasure, and my honor, asan officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica
[F.E.D.] Office of Public Liaison,
to share with
you, from
time to time, asthey
are approved for public release by the F.E.D.
General Council, key excerpts
from the internalwritings, and from the internalsayings, of ourco-founder,
Karl Seldon.

Just such a release is entered
below [Some E.D. standard edits havebeenapplied, in the versionpresented
below, to the direct transcript of ourco-founder’s
discourse].

For more informationregarding,
and for [further] instantiationsof, these Seldonian insights, please see --

“... In secular
contexts, contemporary dates are usually tagged with the ‘abbreviatory era
suffix’ “C.E.”, which, in such contexts, abbreviates the phrase “Common Era”,
or “Current Era”, replacing, in those contexts, the theologically
sectarian suffix “A.D.”, abbreviating the phrase “After [Christ’s] Death”.”

“Sometimes even “C.E.” is interpreted in an equally Christian
tendentious fashion, as abbreviating “Christian Era”, implying
that the era after the death of Christ is the era of Christian domination over
all other religions.”

“The “C.E.” era begins with the end of the “B.C.E.” era, the
“B.C.E.” ‘era suffix’ abbreviating “Before Common Era”, or
“Before Current Era”, replacing, in secular contexts, the
Christian-chauvinist ‘era suffix’, “B.C.”, abbreviating the phrase “Before
Christ”.”

“The fourth
of our‘psychohistorical-dialecticalmeta-modelmeta-equations’,
the ‘meta-model’
named ‘ThePsychohistorical-DialecticalMeta-EquationofHuman-SocialFormationsMeta-Evolution’, peroursolution of it, predicts
